Coyote and the Fire Stick by Barbara Diamond Goldin A Pacific Northwest Indian Tale

On the top of a mountain, guarded by three Evil Spirits, mighty Fire blazes. From their cold, dark lodges in the valley below, the People long for Fire. But how can they get it? This is a job for wise and crafty Coyote. “Sparks in this book fly from the pictures as well as from the words.”--School Library Journal
